You need the CVS repository, e.g. you need to use CVSUP but your tag value, if any, should be `.' and your release name should be cvs. Here's how I update my own CVS repository: ----- cut here ----- *default prefix=/home/ncvs base=/a host=cvsup.FreeBSD.org release=cvs delete compress use-rel=suffix ## Main Source Tree src-all src-eBones src-secure # Other stuff ports-all www ----- cut here ----- Once you have the full CVS repository online, make sure that your CVSROOT environment variable points to it (``setenv CVSROOT /home/ncvs'' for my example above) and then go do this: cd /usr/src/release make release BUILDNAME=3.0-MY-SNAP CHROOTDIR=/some/big/filesystem/release An entire release will be built in /some/big/filesystem/release and you will have a full FTP-type installation in /some/big/filesystem/release/R/ftp when you're done. If you want to build your SNAP along some other branch than -current, you can also add RELEASETAG=SOMETAG to the make release command line above, e.g. RELEASETAG=RELENG_2_2 would build an up-to-the- minute 2.2 GAMMA snapshot. This should probably be a FAQ. :-) Jordan
